Wayne FARNHAM (Narracan) (14:41): (1305) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. My community would like to know: when will the repairs be made to the damaged wire rope barriers between the Pakenham bypass and the Bunyip River? Significant sections of these barriers have been damaged over the last 12 months, and unfortunately these are not getting fixed quick enough. Common sense would tell most people, especially around the Gumbuya park area, which is a black spot area, that if one vehicle has already run off the road and damaged that wire rope barrier, then there is a fair chance another one will happen. The last thing I would like to see in my community is a fatality just because of the lack of maintenance on wire rope barriers. So I would urge the minister to address this as quickly as she can.
